Might a modern 'age of enlightenment' of faith based creationism be in order?

The 'age of enlightenment' worked in the minds of some of the rulers of 18th century Europe. Maybe it will work in the minds of some of today's religionists who choose to understand life on earth as a function of faith based wishful thinking.

If creationism had any support, yes, then a modern 'age of enlightenment' might be possible. But most ages of enlightenment came as a result of scientific advances and updated thinking.

The 'creationist' view of an earth that is 6000 years old, and was created in six days, isn't new.

It isn't even supported by any kind of science, and is largely the work of James Ussher, who determined the age by use of the Bible. He wasn't even the first.

The bottom line is that creationist thinking is not updated thinking, even by attempting to use "intelligent design" in the mix. If anything, it demonstrates an amazing amount of ignorance, especially with regard to science.

Oxymoron, look it up. Enlightenment (based on science) and creationism (based on the demented ramblings of several men from back in the day) don't belong in the same sentence.
